EarthAlert: Disaster Management for Android

Get notifications at the time of any calamity like earthquakes, floods and hurricanes by getting alerts from anyone who gets to know of the calamity quickly by getting a notification in the form of images posted online or any common text broadcasts according to their location.In addition to this , in the case of earthquake, our application will make use of the gyroscopic sensor and accelerometer of the smartphone of the user according to the time duration of random vibrations sensed in a continuous period of time. Once the user is informed of the calamity, the user follows the emergency steps to be taken during the time of the calamity.We also incorporate government agencies to notify in case of a hurricane or flood beforehand through the application and also provide various fast access emergency numbers in the application. Our idea stems from the fact that when a calamity comes, it is the people near the calamity area that get notified of the calamity first, not the news channels, so therefore through the means of the common people we notify all others in the surrounding areas to act accordingly.We also take help from the government agencies who can create a special account in our application to specifically notify in case of an incoming danger.
